Applaud guest conductor Gemma New as she returns to Kansas City in this highly imaginative and deeply satisfying program. The Symphony’s Principal Oboe Kristina Fulton takes a star turn in Bohuslav Martinů’s elegant Oboe Concerto. Packed with zesty melodies and rich orchestral accompaniment, the Concerto’s warm ambiance is inviting. You’ll be amazed at the solo virtuosic flourishes while sparkling syncopations will make you want to dance.
 
One of Sergei Prokofiev’s most brilliant masterworks is his ballet music for Romeo and Juliet. Filled with haunting melodies, flashes of exuberance, electrifying moments and heartrending pathos, this is unforgettable music befitting Shakespeare’s closing line: “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” It will be a tragedy if you miss this concert!
